Girls from Ballston Spa Middle School at the annual Girls Summit held at Hudson Valley Community College’s campus in Malta.
The Ballston Spa Central School District recently received a $2,000 Lend-A-Hand Grant from the
Adirondack Trust Co. Community Fund (ATCCF). It will be used to
support the 2015 Girls’ Summit, a full-day science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) based forum for and
about girls. The event is designed to empower, inspire and inform girls
to lead healthy
lives and better prepare for their future.
“Adirondack Trust Co.’s commitment in
supporting STEM enrichment opportunities is sincerely appreciated in our
school community,”
said Superintendent Joseph P. Dragone.
“The implementation of this grant will engage our middle school
girls and let them learn more about pursuing STEM-related career
fields.”
The district’s Ballston Spa Partnership for Innovation in Education
program secured the grant on behalf of the district and will
administer it in the coming year. The program creates innovative
educational experiences that help reshape teaching and learning in the
Ballston Spa schools so that students have the potential
to learn from brilliant scientists, world-renowned artists and
musicians, committed civic leaders and leading companies to support
research and development in the K-12 classrooms.
The ATCCF recently awarded Lend-A-Hand
Grants to 23 local nonprofit organizations. The grants,
totaling $40,000, were handed out at the Community Fund’s annual grant
award reception.
Speaking on behalf of the ATCCF independent
advisory committee, volunteer Chairperson Joan Taylor said, “The
message we want to send is one of sincere gratitude, both to our donors and to the nonprofits that tirelessly work to better our
community.”
